Abstract
A disk-loading station for an automated disk library includes a 'lazy-Susan' mechanism which enables disks to be loaded into the library from a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the disks are ultimately transported within the library. Such a loading station enables disks to be loaded through the front wall of the disk library, rather than through an end wall which would increase the space requirements for the library.
